Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
Users and developers of grid applications have access to increasing numbers of resources. While more resources generally mean higher capabilities for an application, they also rai...
Efficient loop scheduling on parallel and distributed systems depends mostly on load balancing, especially on heterogeneous PC-based cluster and grid computing environments. In thi...
Grid computing is moving into two ways. The Computational Grid focuses on reducing execution time of applications that require a great number of computer processing cycles. The Da...
Abstract— We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees to Grid users through advance reservation of resources. Advance reservation mechanisms provide the ability to alloca...
